Formal Taxonomy
Plantae - Anthophyta - Dicotyledoneae - Nepenthales - Sarraceniaceae - Sarracenia - As treated by Kartesz (1999), all Canadian and northeastern U.S. plants of Sarracenia purpurea are ssp. gibbosa, with ssp. purpurea occurring only from New Jersey southward. However, other authors (e.g. Weakley 2007, Gleason and Cronqist 1991) call this northern material Sarracenia purpurea var. purpurea and refer to the southern material that Kartesz (1999) calls Sarracenia purpurea var. purpurea as Sarracenia purpurea var. venosa (Raf.) Fern.
